A chronicle of a bus hijacking in Rio, Brazil so as the kid life. It occurred on June 12,2000. Just watched this movie here in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. It is about a poor boy (Sandro) who hijacks a bus and takes few hostages only in order to be famous and due he's high. So everyone must watch it. It's a portrait about an unfortunate guy who didn't have another choice in life except being a thief. Otherwise, he'd die. In other words, he didn't have a chance to live honestly. The movie has the usual and expected sad ending. Michel Gomes is the main actor who did a great work, besides some of other unknown actors. Maybe it could be a good lesson for those who intends to track a wrong way. As a matter of fact, Sandro had tried to have a better life but it seems destiny or fate did not allow him. In short, it happens nowadays in every country where poverty turns to a plague. Again: good direction and good actors. I'm sure an awarding is coming to this very film!

Since it was filmed in Argentina, it could be considered as a good production. However, most of its actors sometimes do exaggerate when acting. I think they forgot that they were in a movie, not in a stage, like a Shakespearian drama. About the movie itself, I was kind of disappointed. Too many clichés and it's incredible that how bad the Argentinian Police is. Their detectives are very stupid because they never can catch the serial killer. On the contrary, that poor gay guy always make them foolish as well as kill anyone who crosses his way. Well, since I started watching that series, I might have to watch it until its very ending... What a sacrifice!
